Lyrics:
I cried
Never gonna hold the hand of another guy
Too young, for him they told her
Waiting for the love of a travelin' soldier
Our love will never end
Waiting for the soldier to come back again
Never more to be alone
When the letter says a soldier's coming home

I have decided to make a comment here after some thought. I have kept this info close to my heart for 53 years now and am getting old and wearing out. This song speaks directly to me. I dedicate this comment to Sgt. Jessee Frank Morgan and Cpl . Auburn Foreman. They both died beside me on a worthless little hillside in Dec. 1965. Both were my close friends. As a medical corpsman, I did my best but they did not make it and I was badly wounded. I have never posted their names before but this lovely song seems the right place to recognize them. Semper Fi buddies and Jesse, your son is a fine young man. I talk to him regularly and told him all about u and how u died.
Thank you for your service. Welcome home.
@@carolmoore1038 thanks Carol. It was our duty and we did our best. I served with America's finest young mem. I was honored to be beside them. I am now 74 and reaching the end but the memories never left me.
Thank you for sharing your story and making the wold better by your actions.
Thank you sir for your service
@@mikeo678 thanks Mike, your comment means a lot to me. I loved and still love this awesome country.
If the Chicks never record another song….. this is enough. Lost my son-in law in Iraq. This song kills me. What a tribute!
This song breaks my heart. I served in Afghanistan and on my second tour in 2010 a very nice American lady called Betty Hidalgo, sent care packages to me and my men, she didn’t know us, we weren’t American, but when I wrote to her and spoke to her, this is her story.
As a young girl her man proposed to her before going to Vietnam, he did not come home. She never met anyone else and dedicated her life to supporting soldiers overseas and it is my greatest honour to have called her my friend.
Well, there goes my mascara…thank you for your service and bless Miss Hidalgo. I’d love to meet her to help her out.
@@emily4gov thank you Emily, she was a really great woman, sadly we lost touch when I left the military, but I was always in awe of just how much support she gave to us. There were times when the resupply chopper would land at our FOB and a huge stack of American boxes would be dropped of for my team.
Her and her friends must have spent an absolute fortune just to make the lives of US and British troops a bit more bearable.
My daughter was born during that deployment (turning 14 this year) and Betty sent cards and gifts to me for her.
The woman was an Angel.
@@georgemccafferty4813 I’m sure you and Miss Hidalgo found each other because it’s people like you that gave her a reason to do what she does.
thank you for you service

My husband was a physical therapist during early sixties. He was stationed at the hospital in Tokyo that the wounded came to right from the MASH units. These wonderful warriors were never forgotten by him. He loved this song. He passed away 21/2 years ago and we put this song on right next to his ear and he passed away to this song with one tear from his eye down his cheek. God bless all soldiers and those who love them and will never forget them.
I am a two-time Vietnam Vet. I lost a lot of friends there, and a large part of my soul. When I was 18 and in basic I was called out to perform in the honor guard for a soldier's funeral - a friend of mine from high school. I have never stopped crying I think. The Dixie Chicks may have been reviled by many, but I can only say thank you for this song.
I love the Dixie chick's beautiful girls and beautiful song got bless our Vietnam nam vets
Reviled by apes
🥲
Thanks for your service brother.
I cant think of another song that does the job, this is something very special
I am a Vietnam veteran and this song brings a lot memories back after 3 tours I finally came home and now I am almost 75 and the memories are more vivid
Semper-fi to all my brothers
semper-fi may we find peace and as we said in our group bo-ya !!! and thank you for your service sister
Ooorah, brother. Semper fi
Thank you for your service, may God bless you and bring you peace
hey judy what was your M/O/S I was M/P prison guard and 101st infantry in the army
Thank you for your service. I'm a vet of Iraq war and have much respect for you guys and gals
I'm a a veteran. First time I heard this I had tears rolling down my cheeks. Very powerful.
God Bless you and your family and Thank You for your service
Thank you for your service.
❤😊amen
Thanks for your service brother
Amen
I have never listened to this song without crying like a five year old. I remember, as a little girl, watching the soldiers who fought in Vietnam coming off the plane. God bless every one of them and may Gods rest those who never came home. May they rest peacefully in the arms of the Lord. ❤️🙏🏼
Invaders being sad
me too
I always cry at the end when the soldier dies.
Aww 🥰 Georgegem 💎
I love ❤️ you and Thank You 🙏🏿 for your service !
All these Government officials , should be ashamed of themselves & fired at once . Honestly and I feel they don’t give a dammed , because they’re all career politicians . And have absolutely nothing to worry about , they live in lavished mansions & get paid very well to do absolutely NOTHING .
It’s just so WRONG 😑 & I have 2- young nephews that recently enlisted in the Army . And their parents , friends & I begged them not to go . But they went anyway , and just like the United States 🇺🇸 it’s sending by now billions of dollars , to UKRAINE 🇺🇦 . And I agree they need help , but what’s going to happen to US 🇺🇸 ??
Our children , grandchildren & great grandchildren will have to pay 💰. Ridiculous amounts of taxes , to come up with that money 💴 for the big deficit . And thank hate the USA 🇺🇸 it’s sending all this money 💴 to ISRAEL 🇮🇱 , because all they want it’s the land !!
But innocent 😇 people are literally dying of hunger , every single day !!
And the images on tv 📺 and Newspapers it’s horrible 😤, many children are now orphaned !!
Who’s going to take care of them & Benjamin Netanyahu , it’s just pure EVIL 👹👺. Because he won’t let the trucks 🛻 that are loaded with food 🥘, water 💦, clothing , formula for babies 👶 & the bare essentials !
And the images literally give me nightmares , when you see mothers holding their newborn 👶 babies dead 💀 !
And crying 😭 , and I truly feel so sorry 😢 for the Palestinian people .
They have suffered for over 75 years & it’s all about taking over the land , and Benjamin DEVIL NETANYAHU said it . He won’t stop 🛑 until there’s no more Palestinian , but yet they don’t want the whole world 🌎. About the genocide in 1945 when Hitler killed a lot of their people !
But don’t they see what they’re doing ??
And that’s just so WRONG 😑 & all they come up it’s blame HAMAS !
It’s just ridiculous , and when they send missiles to the RAFHA encampment. !
People thought they were finally safe , and he had the nerve to say “ it was an honest mistake “
And I’m thinking 🤔 really , really !
Anyway I hope you’re doing well & hope that if you’re married .You’re happy 😊 with your wife & children . And if you’re not , there’s a nice girl out there for you !
Sorry 😞 for the long comment ( script ) lol 😂 , please take care !
And may God Blessed you , your family & all your loved 🥰 ones . Today , tomorrow & always !
🙏🏿❤️😭🌎🇺🇸🇮🇱👎🤬😡💎
@@rosaa658 Jesus is coming. Read 1 Corinthians 15:1 (this is so very important) then read the book of Ezekiel in the Old Testament and, or course, Matthew 24. Perhaps, this will help you to understand what is happening in real time. All that is going on now is written in the Bible. Israel and the Jewish people belong to the one true God and He won’t allow it to be taken. The Jews are God’s chosen people and He will protect them. The Palestinians (HAMAS, incidentally Hamas means “violence”) have vowed to rid the world of Jews and take the land that was given to Jewish people through Abraham. It won’t stop. This is a kill or be killed situation, hence, October 7th and Israel’s retaliation. The fighting will wain during the tribulation (no one wants to be around for this. Seek salvation) and a “so called peace” will come as a deception, in the end, God will win. May the Lord Jesus touch your heart with comfort and bless you abundantly with His love and His holy word. 🙏🏼🕊️
I miss you mason, my forever traveling solider.
Wish you didn’t loose your fight, I love you baby.
Country music needs these women back.
I totally agree. I have absolutely always loved them
Yes, but I think the people who used to support them are far, far more extreme than the Dubya days.
TOTALLY!!!!!
I still don't know who the fuck "canceled" them...been jamming them since I was a small kid riding in my mom's car and they still jam so hard!
They burned their bridges. Now with Toby Keith gone, they can stay away. I'm not extreme, just don't forget the poor class they showed back then.
Their best song, their best performance. Nothing like great talent performing live, no flashing lights, no dancing girls, no auto-tune, no fireworks, no top hats or gaudy costumes, just great music.
Except it isn't their song. It was originally by Bruce Robison. And although I like their version, I am still partial to Bruce's original.
@@davideshenbaugh1468 I'll check out his version. Although a cover, it's still their best song. Plenty of songs first recorded by others didnt make it, but the covers became giant hits. Maybe Robison wrote it so he reaped some royalties. Is he Charlie Robison's brother?
Yes. Brothers.
@@allanfranklin9615
Let’s not forget the timing of this record release. A warning to us all. Yet we had no idea what was to come. I still have the letters to prove it.
I also liked their song "Goodbye Earl".
I cannot hear this without tears just streaming down my cheeks, you know this has, and IS happening hundreds, thousands of times...For what? We keep doing this over and over and over again...Sacrificing young men for some old grey lawyers-politician's vanity...
As a Vietnam Vet, I cry every time I hear this song.
Thank you for your service, Sir, even though it’s about 50 years overdue.
As the daughter of a Vietnam vet, the sister of 2 Gulf War vets, and the mother of a Iraq & Afghanistan War vet, I cry every time I hear it as well.
Have you ever heard Airborne Ranger Infantry by Kristy Lee Cook or They Call Me Doc by Walker McGuire. The first one is specifically about Vietnam but I don’t think they mention a time or location in the Doc song. They’re both beautiful but heartbreaking. If you haven’t heard them, you should look them up.
Thank you for your service Sir!
Thank you for your service.
Thank you for your service ❤️🇺🇲
Me too brother... Fallujah pretty much killed me...
i feel this is a tribute to the girls, wives that waited for us to come back home. My fiance at the time, later to be my wife of 45 years sent endless care packages,
cards and letters that helped me make it home! I lost her six years ago and miss her to this day! She is the rock of my life!
Lost my husband 10 years ago. He served in Nam 1967-68. This song brings back sad memories
@@sallyweideman2450 and Dan Clark sorry for your loss. MAY BOTH YOUR SPOUSES FOR ETERNITY REST IN PEACE.
Sad but true.
@@kennethpepper4967 Thank you for your thoughts.
Thank you for your service and I’m so sorry for your loss!
My brother is a Vietnam Veteran. Thankfully, he was one of the ones that made it home. This song makes me think not only of him but of my daddy, who was a WWII veteran. He, too, came home, but with many scars, both physical and mental. Gets me every time. To any vet who may be reading this, thank you for your service. And especially for the Vietnam veterans, Welcome Home!
Girls are doing good for the same one is well and it way too long and it will you some if I think we can do with it is that too much for you guys are having fun with your phone and see how the day in a great idea when they get there for me to figure u I hope your work and up the right info I can io I is your work today so you a while back so we are having fun I have your favorite and ii the first to figure io is your phone in my phone on me and see you a little later to be a while ago I can do u I can do it again if the only it way to is your

A thank you to all veterans for their sacrifice. I am forever grateful for your contribution that has allowed me to live in freedom.
As someone who has experienced the loss of a soldier they loved deeply this song cuts deep... I cry everytime I hear it
I'm so sorry for your loss.
So sorry for your loss. I do the same and haven't experienced that loss.
soo sorry 4 your loss
So very sorry for your loss!
I cannot imagine your pain and loss hugs
This is an emotionally wrenching song. The storyline carries you, the harmonies sooth you, and the layers of the instruments fill your heart until at the end the drum cadence bruises what is left of your soul. It leaves me in tears. Every. Time.
Well said 💕
Such a beautiful way to describe the chicks.
Same.
I am of the opinion that literally every drum cadence such as is displayed in this song needs to go on for a minimum of one more measure, completely unaccompanied. When paying tribute to servicemen, just let the snare have their moment to shine as the inherently martial instrument it is.
Love this song
My daddy was in the army and his buddy got hurt and my daddy carried him to safety even though he didn't make it... My daddy was my rock and I lost him to cancer 15 years ago and when I hear this song I think of his bravery and I give a huge THANK YOU to all our veterans... This song still makes me cry... It really hits home... I love and miss you daddy!!!❤😢
Head up he’s looking down don’t worry sorry for your loss btw xx🕊️🕊️🕊️
@@Avamcc2012 thank you and yes he is!!! Love your music 💕
😥
I know he’s watching over you❤❤❤
My husband lost his battle with PTSD on 9-30-23. He never left the war. ❤️🖤
Peace be with you persevere 😢 God bless
@@johnjr6221 so sorry for your loss. Doesn’t seem to get easier
@@mikepadilla3520 thank you
I grieve for your loss and his.
My condolences to you and your family on your loss
I was in the high school band my boyfriend was drafted 6 days after graduation. He was sent to Viet Nam. He came home in a box almost one year later. This song reminds me of him all the time.
Too many of my brothers and 8 sisters came home the same way. I did multi-tours and managed to make it back to the world. I'm sorry for your loss..
@@russelltrurok4816 I go to the wall here where I live to see his name and leave a rose. Never forgotten.
@@dianekeith4944 The first time I saw the Wall, it was portable at the Naval Recruit Station in San Diego, California. In 2014 I got to fly on an
Honor Flight with 160 veterans to DC from Atlanta.
We were taken to the Wall first then the Korean War Memorial followed by the WWII Memorial finally to watch The Changing of the Guard at the Tomb of the Unknown. For us this 1 day trip was rough and elated at the same time. We had a reception line at both airports.
Completely different from the first 2 times I came home.
We called it coming " back to the world " I have lost several friends back then.
I will not bore you with any of my old memories.
I hope you have found happiness.
@@russelltrurok4816 I have but I always remember all the fun we had
😪
I was a British soldier for 30 years I had no one to come home to, I fought for my country in 5 wars then I met my angel who is my wife now and this song reminds me of how I met her and had to leave her but she's stood by my side through everything, all I can say is when I hear it it makes a battle hardened man cry
Cheers Bob, thanks for your service mate.
May God Bless you for your service and dedication to your country and it’s citizens. I’m a Proud American and my family came over from Scotland in 1793 but anyone who has sacrificed as much as you have to help ensure the safety of so many deserves credit and appreciation from anyone and everyone. … this really is a great tune and even as much as I despise the Dixie Chicks they really do an awesome job with it. I love hearing it but man it sure is hard to listen to.
God bless you
Cheers, Robert.
God bless your soul sir
That chorus lyric that says Never wanna be alone, when a letter says the soldier's coming home. It happened and happened alot. Give mad respect for our veterans and their families. Talk about sacrifice ❤️
The Dixie Chicks saved helped me get through a very dark time in my life. Their music and lyrics resonated in my soul. I still listen to them and it takes me back with gratitude and joy when I first discovered their music and talent. Will be forever grateful and always inspired by their lyrics. ❤
I have been that lonely teenaged soldier. This song never fails to moisten my eyes and put a lump in my throat. A classic song for the ages. Well done.
God bless you
Even without being a soldier. It's a very sad song.
My soldier is in Afghanistan 🇦🇫 and need money to come home 🏡 😪 please, somebody who can help 🙏 😢
Me too walter 😭
Thank you so much!
So you know...the reason we all cry when listening to this touching song is because it speaks of truth. So many died, so many severely disabled, so many still dying...inside. I was one of the lucky ones on draft (352), but I think about the Vietnam vets and their families every day. Just in case we forgot to say...thanks.
and they changed their name to , chicks, putrid democraps.
Amen
Absolutely agree...Thank you to ALL Our Service men and women...As the daughter of a Vietnam Vet ,my Daddy was wounded but by the Grace of God he made it back to Us....He never ever talked about Vietnam ever he served 27 yrs in the Marines Retired as a Sgt Maj ...my Daddy passed away from lung cancer due to Agent Orange 😡 I found out after his funeral what happened to my Daddy in Vietnam, apparently he talked to my brother in law about it...Him and his platoon were trapped for 45 days 😢 surrounded by the enemy...SENSELESS WAR ...God Bless Our Veterans! Thank you for your Sacrifices and Service 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏
Thank you !
@@harrieohara3543 Give them a break! The GOP tried to ruin them for speaking the truth about Bush 2 but these 3 gals went on to even greater success. At almost 81 I'm still a huge fan. I will be one til I die. Screw the f**king Republicans and the ass they rode in on. Go Chicks!
Beautiful song. My daddy served in Vietnam and my grandpa world War 2. Thanks so much to all who served ❤
The Chicks are sooo underrated. Write,play,and sing their great catalog of music. I'm a hard rocker,Stones,Who, Zeppelin,etc.But I can appreciate talent of any genre.
They Didn't Write this Song - Bruce Robinson Did.
*Dixie Chicks.

I'm a grown ass man. This song makes me cry every damn time.
I'm right there with you it makes cry n think of my dad .
I am right with ya. 2 recent wars I don't want to think of being part of, but I lost my Uncle I never new in Vietnam.
Same here along with a few others
I am a grown man also. This song brings tears to my eyes every single time I listen to it. I have always hid my tears from embarrassment. Reading these comments has made me proud of those tears. Thank you so very much for helping me grow as a human being. ❤
There's no shame in crying take it from this old Marine
Listening to this breaks my heart all over again. In memory of my Dad, Irvin G Weyandt, killed in Vietnam July 20, 1967. I love and miss you, Daddy..
Rest in peace to your Dad x
Thank you for your daddy's service.
This song speaks to me as well. My great-aunt lost her fiance at war. She never married and carried her broken heart to her death several years ago. She never spoke of him, my guess is it was too painful. I never knew of their story until after she passed away when we came across letters and a locket necklace with his picture.
It was heartbreaking. This song makes me think of their sad story of love and loss.😪
God bless our fallen warriors.
God bless
❤❤
All American Heroes.
We salute you.
@@pkramer123 TREASON!
That's a shame because I reckoned that you were Kramer from Seinfeld...
And I always liked him.
This song reminds me of my daddy😢he was in the army..we lost him to cancer..he was my hero my rock...he loved and cared for us...I miss him so so much 😢❤
I am a grown man and when I listen to the words of this song it makes me cry every time because Vietnam was hell for our soldiers. Great song.
i love this song, so moving
Listen to "Red Dirt Girl"
There is strength in tears....never be ashamed to cry my friend!
I am 72, was in Vietnam in 1968 and I cried!
I am from middle east and i was about to cry. Respect, peace and NO WAR.
RIP to all the traveling soldiers who never got to come home
This song touched my soul
I was a Canadian soldier and yet this song speaks to me, i had a girl i wanted to write to but never asked her if i could. That was 43 years ago, still regret not asking,
Find Peace or Find Her! Blessings
Should of could of but maybe it was best for you and her you dont know
It is never to late
I grew up in this era. Many of my high school friends were drafted in this & didn’t come home. Beautiful & haunting song. 💕
Thank you for your service
Don’t give up, Chicks. So many of us depend on your courage.
Just goes to show you that this crooked government will do anything they can to silence you if you speak truths and they dont like it. Now look where we are today, same place!
❤ this comment 🫶🏼
What a beautiful song. I'm a Vietnamese, I have an American friend who was drafted for the war in Vietnam and survived it to tell his story. And somehow Vietnam has a special place in his heart, so he always tried to come back and visit us at least once a year ❤
Such a tear jerker , these girls were amazing with every song they sung and this one. If you can keep a dry eye with this song then you need to say thank you for your service more often . The military in this country are some of the best people in the world. 83-87 4th infantry division
2 thumps up
Thank you for your service…and if we run into each other at a diner, coffee’s on me ❤️
As a GULF WAR VET…. My heart goes out to ALL VETS!!! God BLESS YOU ALL
Excellent tribute. I'm a vet and was a traveling sailor. The first time I played this song to my young daughters 20 years ago, they asked about the girl with the bow in her hair.
To my soldier who never came home. Happy 23rd wedding anniversary. Your heartbroken but proud wife. You were 30 and too young but I cherish the years you have given me. It won't be long before we meet again 6months at most . The war killed us both but we did our duty. I love you still my travelling soldier
I am so sorry for your loss!! But, I do thank you both for his service. My husband, now ex, served in Nam right after we married....we were both 20.......he came home and tho we didn't make it in our marriage, we always stayed friends, to this day. My heart goes to you!
So sad 😢 god bless you both. Greetings from Germany
@@RockStar-mg3dq I lived in Heidelberg for 3.5 years.....hope to go back soon for another visit.

Sorry for your loss Casper, - some folks still feel the pain and always will
I love Natalie and her resilience. Today I’m only going to listen and post The Chicks tunes. If you know, you know….
My thankful heart and all of the prayers I can pray are with all of the soldiers and their families. God Bless you all!
As an Veteran of the US Army, who served his country during the Vietnam War. The sadness of this song hits home. I was 17 years old. Even those the came back were never the same. No
body wanted us. Many still suffer from PTSD or drug addiction. It took more than 20 after the war before the government even started to aid these heroes.
Sorry to hear that brother, hooe it's better for you now. Thank you for your service from Israel
Amen brother i spent my 18th b-day in boot camp and yes even family treated me like what are you doing here. PTSD has ruled my life !!! if you read my comments as a MP prison guard and 101st infantry I seen things and was called to do things I can never un see or undo.
Most wanted you. Only the loud mouths didn't. Thank you.
Thanks for what you did for this country this country should done alot more for the veterans they should be a shame of their self
This was my grandmas favorite song , we are currently at the funeral home saying our goodbyes . Love you grandma
this is one of the greatest performances I could imagine. God bless your grandma. And go Chiefs.

Her voice is so unique. Very talented ladies.
These three women break my heart every time I hear this song. Thank you ladies for a great song by true patriots about our national tragedy and the losses we all felt.
Thanks to all who served. Thanks for sharing your beautiful stories. I myself cannot listen to this song without shedding a tear or two. Thanks to the Chicks for a beautiful song.
It was written by Stevie Nicks.
@@ailleananaithnid2566 I believe "Landslide" is the Stevie Nicks song they covered. This song, "Travelin' Soldier" was written by Bruce Robison.
Very rarely will you hear a better song ,a better vocalist, or better players, the song touches me, God bless the soldiers who served in Vietnam, I hope no one ever forgets them
I've listened to this song for 27 years. Still one of my favorites. RIP all vets. THANKS FOR EVERYTHING.
RIP all the children who were killed by the "vets" and may they burn in eternal fucking hell.
Wow. You’ve been listening to this song since 7 years before it was written.
@@zackhickey4922 it was originally written in 1996 by Bruce Robinson.

I served as a US Army nurse from 2011-2015. This song will always remind me of many Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines who are never coming home.
thank you for your service

I’m 73 was of age but never went to Vietnam. This song brings tears to me every time. I heard them sing this live once. Pure talent
The perfect Memorial Day song. These girls do an awesome job.
This song completely destroys me everytime. One of the best ever made, no doubt. Just a simple story but so beautifully told.
Me too. The more you listen to it, the more poignant and meaningful they become. God bless all our fallen and injured.
John. Yes. And the families.
Same. Everything just stops for me. And I tear up no matter how many times I listen to it.
Amanda. Yup. It's just one of those timeless classics.
Me too ! Especially if you lived it ! Making it home with more blessings than one man deserves sometimes survivers guilt crawls all up inside me and I listen to these Ladies Sing.....you are loosing that Special Soldier Marine Sailor Air Force Cost Guard and I get eat up with what could I have done differently to do just one more effort for someone...anywho
...Angels are Singing !
This song makes me cry still... 😢❤
Just the way that the song ends with just the echoing beats from the drum...chills. Give me this sort of patriotic song anyday over a song who's patriotism revolves around shoving boots up other human beings backside iykyk
this song was on another level, and anti-jodi letter to soldiers abroad. i loved this song before I was a soldier and I love it now 10yrs after being one.
me too
This song I listen to and dedicate for our fallen military men and women we just lost in Afghanistan a sad day for America for we all mourn the loss of you.
Those 13 (one of them from my hometown) for sure but let's not forget the other 2500 that were killed over there in the last 20 years
Or the 2000 more that would have died over the next 20 years if we hadn't gotten around to calling it quits...
Condolences from Ireland 🇮🇪
can please tell me the name of the lead singer, i'm new to the chicks and she is far better than the other one. this one has far more emotion in her voice.
@@talyman589 Natalie Main
I was born February 1967 my father was killed in June 1967. We never met. I had a beautiful mother who raised me to know my father and the love they had. He was 20 she was18. I lost her in1996 to cancer at 47 years old. When I hear this song I think of them both and know GOD is with them and me. I know this song touches a lot of us children who lost a loved one in Vietnam, and the noble people that were part of this war may GOD bless us all.
My aunt lost her first husband Robert. Fuller private first class from friendly fire he died on his way to Germany they didn't have enough blood he was 19 years old
In deed God bless us all. May you live a life of joy and meaning!!!!!
❤️
I was a teen during Vietnam. It was bluntly real because they showed the body bags and how many people were killed nightly
We lost a whole generation of men in Vietnam. A tragedy

RIP Cpl. Bernardo Vasquez. Iraq war vet, goofy dude, funny as hell, and a great friend. Passed away saving his uncle from drowning while at a family picnic on leave.
Miss you brother. Hope you're well and I look forward to seeing you again.
-Duke
Bernardo rest in peace.

@@dixiechicks6997 love you and this tribute song.
Any group with "chicks" in its name is feminist cancer.
Yesterday was D-Day. I could not post this then, because of the emotion. I was not in WWII - not born yet - but was in Vietnam - twice. I know the pain - I lived it. I had several uncles that served in WWII. Honored men - all of them. For the men that never make it back from our stupid, stupid wars - May You Rest in Peace and find all glory in heaven...sic fin!
I absolutely say this is my favorite song. I am a military veteran & volunteer Firefighter & EMT specialist. This song talks to me. I can’t say it any better.
This song touches the heart of anyone who is/was a Soldier and of anyone who has loved a Soldier. 🇺🇸
This song hits me hard, in a very odd way: My father was a drill instructor in the army before I was born.
He trained a number of platoons, and quit the military just after I was born, because he didn't want to be deployed away from family for long months/years.
A few years ago, he confessed that he still gets calls from grieving widows, asking if he can attend the funerals of men he trained, that died while deployed.
Most of them moved to the US because they wanted to be heroes. Wanted to go to war and put their skills to use.
He showed me platoon photos of the men he trained, and several of them show almost completely blanked out faces. Almost all the men in the platoon are now dead.
Almost all the men he trained have gone to war, and not made it home.
It was the only time in my life that I've ever seen my father cry.
He thinks he didn't train them well enough, and that's why they never made it home.
Songs like this have hit very hard since he told me that.
Amen!
Absolutely 💯

@@DeathsHood I think all of us who served paid a price, each in their own way, that most will never know or understand. Tell your father, from one Vet to another, to rest easy. He did the best he could. That's all any of us can do. 😔😔😔
Never heard this song before today, it brought tears to this old mans eyes. I thank these girls for this song, and all my brothers and sisters who fought long ago, and fight today so we can all be free.
Nam was 50 years ago and the tune plays over n over n over.Just accept.no guilt.just cry.This song I just cry.Way it is .I was in that shithole for 3 tours
Thanks to you both for your service to this great country. My father-in-law was drafted to the war and still can’t discuss the atrocities that he witnessed. I love this song and it really hits home. Take care and be safe out there.
Lost my brother next store. I remember his girl and the rest us crying as we said our goodbyes.
Dixie Chicks!
Amen
Anyone 2024 ❤
I'm not into country music, but this song is EVERYTHING!!! 🥹🥹🥹
Lest we forget, in 🇦🇺
Meeeee
“Would you mind if I send one back here to youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu”
Who shouldn't be here? 😅it 5 o'clock somewhere 😅
I hardly ever speak of this anymore , but this song has opened my heart. I was 19 and my husband was 20. We married right out of high school as many people did in the mid-60's. We had been married about six months, when the the government instilled the "lottery draft" for the VietNam war and my husband's birthday was the first date drawn. He made it about six months in VietNam, and left me a widow at 20. I didn't think I could go on, but my parents forced me to enroll in college. My life went over and I finally married and had two lovely children; and now four grandchildren. No one we know has any knowledge of my first marriage and I never speak of it. The wounds are there, but I hold them deep inside. I see his face a lot of nights before I fall asleep and I talk to him a lot. First love is difficult to recover from, especially when it ends so tragically. I think about VietNam and can never justify why we sacrified so many of our boys for a country we can hardly find on the map. It will be a mystery to me until I die. This song is beautiful and speaks to me so personally.
I agree we have alot soldiers dieing for what and the hurt they put their love ones through
i think about my uncle fought and died for being a medic and saving 8 mens lives before he was killed. Who was awarded the silver star and purple heart andbronze star. Your family will always love you... RIP ALBERT FELTON PRESLEY
May he RIP and feel the support for him and all others ! 😭♥️💔
came home my fam think im a little off if they only could see inside my head scare the snot out of em
What a brave soldier! My bro fought, and came home never the same again...N.& S. viet nam all lost to communists:)
@@robertdesrosiers4743 Praying 🙏🏻 y’all find some kind of peace somehow ! Thank you so very much for your service 🇺🇸😭💪🏻💯 I give y’all the most respect!
@@joancarlson1884 I pray and thank him for everything he and others have done! God bless your family 🇺🇸💯🙏🏻💪🏻
First and foremost thank every single vet for their service. We are nothing without you. Dixie chicks remade a great song and both singers and writer have brought to light the meaning of a solider coming home after a endless sacrifice. Thank God for our service peeps.
Thanks, I didn't know it had been recorded previously.
Agreed they risked their lives for there country and the well being of everyone in it.!💯😁🙏 They put all there skills they possessed and courage they had in to all of the battles they fought and that melts my heart ❤️ That they worked on all of the above everyday to make the ppl in their country and the country itself proud of them💯✅
Thank you.
Thank you
I watched this live from the CMAs...while in prison.. .their wasn't a dry eye .. .everybody understands that son😢
That snare 🥹
She has one of the best voices in music. And sooooo pretty. I've loved the Dixie Chick's and always will ❤
How appropriate on Veterans Day to hear this song. Actually, any day is appropriate. To those that served, thank you.
Nice message, thank you from a crusty old Marine.
Thank you to all the vets
@@1bls Ty for your service
I watch the documentary about Pearl Harbor last night, so sad.
Few days after Thanksgiving 2022 and as a Vet that served 2000-2004 and did a few deployments....one to Afghanistan (We listened to this song on repeat), I currently have tears rolling down my cheeks. There is a ton of songs that pay tributes to Veterans and Soldiers but this one will have a Nostalgia that none can ever match. To all Vets out there, I pray you find peace and know how much you're respected. Thank you deep down from my soul!
Thank You. I seriously mean that.
It was my pleasure to serve this great Country
ok from a guy served 35 years respect just sorry my age can't help you guys out now days
@@SSblack01 thank you Sir. When my Father came home from Vietnam was treated so badly he said that he would not tell his children to go into the service for a country that no longer love’s The Military that protects it. They spit on him and threw plastic babies at him and the other men but they were proud and walked by in their uniforms!! Thank you for everything that you have done.
I'm sorry he had to go through that 😢
Sent red a letter, waiting to hear from him😢❤love u
This is such a beautiful song. Sad for so many people, especially those who lost loved ones in another senseless war. My uncles made it home but many didn't and I'm sorry to everyone that lost loved ones. Well done Chicks, beautiful song 🎵
My son joined the army when he was straight out of high school , barely 18 , he is my hero for sure and I love hime beyond words or reason , a mother's love never ends nor a father's . I pray for his and all those around him to be and remain safe. Returning home is what I dream when I dream of him and the soldiers whom are with him. I love you George Tristan more than you possibly know ❤
My dad passed away yesterday and now I'm making a playlist with all the songs he loved and I remember him by. This is one of them. Thank you dad for showing me the greatest artists of all times. Loved, missed and never forgotten 🤘🔥❤
Sending hugs❤
Sorry for your loss ❤
So sorry for your loss!
Sending love ❤
Sorry for your loss 🩷💞
A stunning performance of a heartbreaking song that never fails to bring tears. Grateful to gifted songwriter Bruce Robison and the amazing Chicks.
This song never fails to give me goosebumps. Perfect vocals, music and lyrics. ❤😢 prayers to all the lost soldiers. You are not forgotten
The first time I heard this I was in Afghanistan and it was played on the radio shortly before I was rehearsing a repatriation duty that would happen later on that evening for a Marine from my unit that was killed.
Every time I hear it now, it provokes such emotion in me. I think about the dismembered bodies I carried as they made their final journeys home. I think about the families, friends and loved ones. I think about how there is now a void in so many lives that can never be replaced. I think about love. I think about war. I think about my son, and the sister he will have in 10 days. I think about how lucky I am to have life a head of me but at the same time an overwhelming sense of sadness that so many were not able to return from war and live the lives that they would have lived.
I think.
I reflect.
I remember.
Rest In Peace Damian, Georgie, Tony, John, Steven, Damien, Marc, Ben and Mick.
"The first time I heard this I was in Afghanistan and it was played on the radio shortly before I was rehearsing a repatriation duty that would happen later on that evening for a Marine from my unit that was killed"
Then you switched off Call of Duty and went to bed, right?
Yeah! Real men go to war and bomb women and children! That's what being a real man is! Yee haw! Imma shoot me some Commies for mah dinna, mama!! Get dem dun grits on the grill an' we'll have oursels a hoe-down gaddamnit!
RedJoe10 Real men do whats needed to be done. They don't kill civvies. If you haven't noticed yet, the Taliban and ISIS are the ones that kill civvies. Their own people. Have respect for those that fight for you.
They give you the right to have that opinion. Airman, sailors, Soldiers and Marines alike. They pay the ultimate price, with blood, sweat and tears. They deserve the utmost respect.
I do have respect for them. But just not the weird almost pornographic hero worship that Americans have, that treats them like untouchable gods unless they're made mentally ill by conflict, then they're soft-assed Communist scroungers who want free healthcare.
War is murder. Deal with it.
You're right. War is murder. It's putting the people down, before they put you down. If you don't put them down. They will put you, your brother, mother and daughter down.
I'm not american. I'm British. But all warriors deserve my respect. I am currently in the process of joining the British Army.
I hope I can do amazing things.
What you have to remember is that NATO is building schools, hospitals. We are helping the afghan, police and military get back on it's feet. For the most part, we are just there to help.
While being the soldier, I never realized how hard it was for my folks saying good-bye, until I was that old man seeing his son leave for the war in Iraq.
It is a scary thing. I was the uncle who encouraged a kid who was looking for a place to be to go into service. He chose not to. In a way I am glad that he didn't because I don't think I could live with myself if he had gone and then died. I hope yours comes home unhurt.
Thank you, Kevin. He did come home safely through two tours and I made it through the anxiety and worry. @@emraldeyz1
Proud father.Peace and respect
Amen Sir! Amen. 🇺🇸
Fuck war! The politicians win. We all lose.
One of the best songs ever written and performed.
12/08/23..I woll NEVER Abandon my Love..Respect... Blood to BLOOD...DIXIE CHICKS..OR MY GOD IN HEAVEN !!
FKUSADEMS.!!!
Tears. Every. Time. 😭This song just hits home even if you have no real ties to the storyline. My grandfather was in WWII and wrote letters to my grandma, Im so thankful he made it home to her and our family so I could meet him when i was born. ❤
Being a Navy veteran who served in the 80's, this song still means so much. Great job Chicks!
Thank you so much for your service sir! It means more than you think
Good morning my love I hope you're having a good night love you too I will see you soon
@@Otterpoptheotter 1
Thank you for your service to our country! Hooah! 🇺🇸💪👊
No veteran will be so politically correct and called Them cheeks They were called Dixie Chicks nice try brother
This song hits my soul hard! Thank you to all that have served and the sacrifices you made!
Music doesn't usually emotionally affect me much but this song makes me blubber like a baby. One of the few songs that brings tears to my eyes. The snare ending is perfect too. Thank you Chicks.
My God, the beauty, and the talent of this band leaves me just breathless.
Agreed! Their talent is very much underrated!
I appreciate all of the bands, companies, or whoever has seen that their names were affiliated with the past. The indecent past. Abhorrent past. We today didn't do the things our grandparents did. We cannot be blamed. What we can do is educate ourselves on how to move forward. Nothing to do with military, religion, just did it hurt someone? Can I change the direction?
They hate Southern America
My little brother's favorite song. He died March 11th this year. I just . . . . This is his song. 😭
I`m so sorry for your loss. Stay safe David
@@1heavychevy thank you. I never knew it could hit this hard. Your understanding . . . Means a lot me
@@davidschofield7351 loosing a loved one will always be hard. I hope time will help You through this.
Sorry for your loss....
omg so sorry to hear that
Saw them perform live a few weeks ago and my god they killed it. I cried so hard when they performed this one. So powerful.
This song never fails to make me cry. One of the most beautiful songs ever made
I keep coming back to it too. I know I'm supposed to be this tough combat vet. But I wrote letters like that talked about my fears. Unfortunately she died before i did. And i cant shake the feeling it's my fault. Anyway, this a beautiful song.
@@jacobuponthestone9093 I am sorry for your loss brother. It is no one's fault. Stand strong, keep her by your side in spirit
same here...
As a soldier i cant stop listening to this
Dublin Life I’m a woman waitin’ on her man.
i remember just before deploying to iraq seeing the dixie chicks on the news with all their anti-war stuff. i thought to myself "how un-patriotic". 20 years later i suffer from PTSD and think that i was wrong and perhaps they were the most patriotic out of everyone. they didnt want 100s of thousands (or maybe millions if you include the families of) soldiers to return from pointless fighting that only lined the pockets of politicians.
Indeed.
🫂
You and everyone did what was right at the time, that is life, Thank you
Spencer thank you for your service. I am also a veteran with PTSD. I thought at the time also that isn't some of the point we live in a country where opinions and points need to be expressed and even though I thought their timing was bad them able to express their view point is the point.
I hope you're doing better with your ptsd the war is hard on the person and the love ones they never get their life back as they want it
61 years old think of my Dad a korean war army 1st lieutenant and my Mom, every time i hear this song. What a beautiful tribute to those who gave their all for country and home and those who took their last breathe giving generations to follow our freedom. God bless our troops.
I cry every time I hear this song. I couldn't sing it without crying. Thank you to all our service men and women for your sacrifice and the Dixie Chicks for singing about and remembering them. ❤️❤️
Please what is the lead singers name and why is there another singer.
Well Christina this is Joseph Bomba I did 10 years in the United States Marine corps and I'm very patriotic and it's hard to swallow but yes it is very bitter about the military and songs and movies none of it has ever been beautiful as long as we're pawns for corrupt governments
Me too. I cry because it reminds me of my daddy.
So do i Christina
In memory of my brother Bob who served his country during the Vietnam war.rest in peace brother
Very proud marine of the United States of America.
Thank you Bob for your service and may you rest in peace
